GRADY YIELDS TO wATTERsoN.

The New York Herald has discovered its
mistake, and now takes down the name OF
Henry W. Grady for vice-president or
the national ticket with Cleveland. Il
says: ave have thought that Mr.. Grady
would be a good man. Mr.. Grady is {
Georgian, and Georgia is the empire state
of the south, as New York is the empire
state of the north. Cleveland and Grady
would, we thought, make a strong team
ceived the suggestion as enthusiastically
as we hoped. Colonel Grady is good
man-nobody, so far as we have seen, de-
MES that; but we confess to our disap
pointment at the cool reception his name
has met among his own people. How
ever, that need not hurt the colonel He
is young man yet, and if 'he lives anG
does well he may see the day when an en-
thusiastic party will place him at the
head of its ticket"
That day will be far in the future, and
never until he changes his tariff ideas.
Yet, the Herald does not give up its search
for a name for the second place on its
ticket, but now comes forward with the
announcement that the great Kentucky
Editor, Colonel Watterson, is just the II an
for the position. He is an ADLER man
than Grady, and more of democrat, but
he is not the man for vice-president. He
is too radical in his ideas, and too vision
airy in his plans. Neither is he in sym
pathy with Cleveland or his policy. He
is splendid editor, don't spoil him by
trying to make second-class vice-presi-
dent, The joke of the Herald boom for
Grady now appears.
That paper says: SIN the meantime is
it too much to hope that the republicans
will also look for a southern man for
their ticket, and try to give it in this way
a national air and appearance? How
would Sherman or Blaine and Grady do
for them? What an interesting contest
we should have next year with an accom-
plished southern journalist on each
ticket" After all, then, the Herald thus
acknowledges Grady is a republican, as
many in the south, if not all, have always
regarded him. Neither Grady nor Wat
terson will answer; try again, Mr.. Herald
The south is not hard to please, but if we
are to have a man from this section, let
him be true representative southern
man and statesman.

100 Doses One Dollar
Funds Needed,

The prohibitionists, as we'll as some of
those in sympathy with our cause, have
been misinformed in relation to the furd
that we shall have for Legitimate disburse-
ment IN this campaign, and l desire now
to correct this impression. 1t takes
money to conduct any kind of campaign,
and we hope that our friends will be lib
eral in subscribing to the fund which we
promise to disburse in those channels
which will bring the greatest benefit to
our cause. There shall be no secret or
sinister use of money. We will not be
ashamed to publish our budget of ex-
penditures. We are engaged in this
work with conscientious intentions, and
while we expect to be active, encouraged
by laudable hope of success,
we trust that we will not be goaded to I'M
usual exertion by the gibes or the mis-
representations of the prohibition advo-
Gates.
There is every reason for fairness, and
votes will not be made by such blatant
Misrepresentation as are made on the
streets and i'll some of the journals about
the fabulous sums of money to be placed
at our disposal.
We invite our friends earnestly to send
in their subscriptions to our treasurer,
Mr.. Walter Tips, and we here express our
gratitude for the help which is given to
the cause of prohibition.

Chairman Travis County Elk. Com.

INFAMOUS OUTLAWRY.

Well may the people of Texas stand
aghast, when, within the very shadow of
their capitol, almost in sight of their
magnificent and palatial state house, an
outrage is committed, both upon person
and property, that might barely be con-
sidered possible on the border. Talk of
protection of life and property by the
law, when, right here under the very noses
of the state government, both have been
assaulted, ruthlessly outraged. Did the
laws of the state of Texas protect the pas
sengers on the Missouri Pacific train at
Mcneil station? Did our laws protect
their property? The answer is "No."
Why not? Simply because our criminal
laws are not executed as they should be.
There is too much dilly dallying with
crime, with outrage; too much maudlin,
puerile and womanish sympathy for the
desperate scoundrels, who have besmirched
the good name of the people of Texas
all over the country.
We need reform in this particular. Let
the pardoning of dangerous criminals
stop. When the law inficts punishment
on bad men, let them be punished, and
let punishment be inflicted often and re-
lentlessly enough TO COW and brighten the
criminally inclined.
Had the desperate thugs who attacked
the train at Mcneil, been certain they
were running the chances of swift and
exacted punishment under Texas law, the
outrage would probably never have been
committed. They showed their contempt
of our state law in outraging the passen-
gers, and their fear of federal law by
religiously keeping hands off the mails.
These infamous and startling outrages
must be stopped one way or another. If
the authorities of this state are unable to
do it, let them say so, and be done with it.

BUSINESS MEN RESPONSIBLE.

The railroad committee have at last
reused from their long lethargy, and a
meeting has been called for Tuesday even
ing next. At this meeting it is under
stood, that not only the railroad to Nc
Gregor will be discussed, but these bust.
ness men will, at that time, try TO formulate
some plan of securing frequent meetings
of the active, progressive men of Austin,
that in this way new spirit of enter
secured. In this way only, can Austin
hope to pull out of the rut that is now
worn fathom deep. A board of trade is
the scheme most mooted, and at the
meeting, Tuesday, this matter will claim
grave attention. It will not do to go
about this railroad question and board of
trade, and other matters demanding in
slant attention, in half-hearted and
careless way. Already Austin has the
reputation of being not only slow and
poky, but that when she does attempt a
progressive movement, she goes at it like a
child after butterfly, eagerly at first, and
then becoming convinced of the uncertain
ty of its movements, she is quickly wearied
out by a useless expenditure of zeal and
gives up the chase. Austin's advance
ment is a task for men, men not daunted
by one, two, three, or a hundred failures
men having confidence in themselves and
the worth of persistent effort; men real
izing the gravity of the situation; men
recognizing that upon them hangs the
good name and business reputation of the
capital city of Texas; men of grit
and energy; men of money and
faith in the city's prospects. Men
of this stamp will meet together Tuesday,

Don't Marry Him.

"He is such tickle, inconstant fellow,
you will never be happy with him." said
Esther's friends when they learned of her
engagement to young man who bore the
reputation of being sad flirt. Esther,
however, knew that her lover had good
qualities, and she was willing to take the
risk. In nine cases out of ten it would
have proved mistake: but Esther was an
uncommon girl, and to everyone's sur
prise Fred made model husband. How
was it? Well, Esther had cheerful, sun
ny temper, and great deal of tact. Then
she enjoyed perfect health and was al
ways so sweet, neat and wholesome that
Fred found his own home most pleasant,
and his own wife more agreeable than
any other being. As the year passed and
he saw other women of Esther's age grow
sickly, faded and querulous, he realized
more that he had "a jewel of a wife"
Good health was half the secret of Es-
theirs success. She retained her vitality
and good looks, because she warded off
femeniue weakness and ailments by the
use OF DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tions.

A SIGNIFICANT fact comes to light in re-
lation to the immigration to the United
States from foreign nations. 1t is this:
Ireland and Germany now send over fewer
immigrants than for years past, and yet
the rate to this time, shows that the immi-
grafton for 1887 will be larger than for
any year since 1882. The difference is
more than made up by people from Rus
STA, Poland, Hungary, Italy and other
small European governments. Our Irish
and German population is by all odds the
most Industrious, sober and best foreign
citizenship we have. If this is to be cut
off, and in its stead the United States are
to be flooded by outpourings from the
nations above mentioned, people as a rule
poor, shiftless and lawless, it is indeed
time for congress and the people to be
looking into this ominous danger. We
are not an asylum for the dregs of the
world No other nation would permit the
class of immigration now coming to our
shores, nor should the United States
longer allow it. A firm and progressive
stand should at once be taken in this
matter.

and to these men the city will look for
guidance out of the present desert of
inertia, and safe conduct TO a plane of
resolve and effort, that cannot but lift
Austin to peership with any city in Texas;
any city in the south. Gentlemen of this
committee, the trust is upon you; see to
it that you do not fall short of your privi-
lege and duty, nor dash to earth the final
hope of present action, upon which alone
future success can be predicated.

EXcitement in Texas

Great excitement has been caused in the
vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the remarkable
recovery of Mr.. j. E. Corley, who was so
helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise
his head; everybody said he was dying Of
Consumption. A trial bottle of DR.. Kings
New Discovery was sent him. Finding
relief he bought large bottle and box
of DR.. Kings New Life Pills; by the time
he had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery, he was we'll and
had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.

The Old Silver Snnnn.

How fresh in my mind are the days of my sickness,
When tossed me in pain, all fevered snd sore;
The burning, the nauseat the sinking and weakness,
And even the old spoon that my medicine bore.
The old silver spoon, the family spoon,
Inc elck'chamher spoon that my medicine
bore.
How 10th were my fever-parched lips receive il,
How nauseous the stuff that it bore to my tongue,
And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught could re-
lieYe it.
Though tears of disgust from my eyeballs it
wrung.
The old silver spoon, the medicine spoon,
How awful the stuff that il left on my tongue.
Such is the effect of nauseous, gripping

JUDGE WALKER FOR SUPREME JUDGE.

JUDGE WALKER FOR SUPREME JUDGE.
Indorse ments of Judge Willie for seat
on the United States supreme bench, have
enthusiastically come up from all quarters
of the state, and his claims to this posi-
ton are being actively pressed at Wash
ington by those in state authority. Austin
is anxious for this promotion, through
very high regard for the ability and ster-
ling worth of Judge Willie, but also and
chiefly because she is exceedingly solicit
t,us for the appointment of Judge A. S.
Walker to the supreme bench of Texas,
should Judge Willie attain Judge Woods
lately vacated seat Judge Walker is a
man above suspicion of reproach; a man
of exceedingly assiduous application; a
Judge of great ability and legal attain
ments. The court Of appeals, in deciding
a case this week, took occasion to refer to
a recent charge of Judge Walkers in a
very important case, as "model one
Judge Walker has served faithful stew
ardship as judge of this judicial district
he is eminently fitted for place on the
supreme bench, and should Chief Justice
Willie be called to Washington, the citi
zens of Austin and this whole judicial dis
trict will rise up as one man to petition
his appointment at the hands of Governor

VIM. II. Reed, of Walawalla, W.
T., complains of the Oregon Railway
